Comment
The above pictures are the result of a PhotoShop work over a very poor coin from INCM:Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Vintém "XX" - António I (Lisbon) ND (1580) from Portugal is that it was minted during the reign of King António I, who was the first king of Portugal to issue coins with his own name and title. This coin, made of silver (.9166) and weighing 1.7g, features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of Portugal on the other. It was part of a series of coins minted during António's reign to promote trade and commerce in the country.
